Nevada Sales and Use Tax Bond
What it is & who requires it
Businesses subject to Nevada’s sales and use tax — including contractors, who owe use tax on the materials they consume on a job — when the Department of Taxation decides security is necessary to ensure compliance. It is most often asked of new registrants and of out-of-state or delinquent taxpayers. The Department requires it selectively rather than of everyone.

Filing
Placed with the Nevada Department of Taxation when the Department decides it needs security to ensure your sales and use tax compliance. It is discretionary rather than automatic, and Nevada does not require it to be a bond — the statute lets the Department take security in any form and applies the same limits regardless of the type of security placed with it — so the bond is listed. The Department fixes the amount itself, within a statutory ceiling tied to your estimated average tax due, so the exact figure is confirmed when you apply. Any surplus is returned to you. Authority: NRS 372.510.
